    Post description

    • 400 MB/s Read = up to 300 MB/s
    • USB 3.2 Gen 1 = (3.1 Gen 1 interface)

    Interpreting a quick glance at the Amazon product description as referring to the backwards compatibility speeds*?

    • edfoo on 12/01/2023 - 08:40

      Beware the write speed is only stated at a slow 30MB/s, though from the reviews a few people able to obtain around 60MB/s.

        When 500GB portable SSD has been lower

        harder to justify <half speed capacity for a form factor

      • fastnet on 12/01/2023 - 14:07

        This is incorrect info. I got 1 from a previous deal and tested the write speed to be around 100 MBps.

        • edfoo on 12/01/2023 - 15:40
          +2

          I can confirm my info is correct because I just tested the drive on a USB-C port on my PC, the Crystal Disk Mark showing sequential read speed of 400+MB/s and sequential write speed of 60+MB/s.

    • UsernameChecksIn on 12/01/2023 - 08:42

      300 MB/s read info is for the smaller model* - Thought sellers usually upsell rather than downplay with incorrect info

    Pick up cheaper at Bing Lee if that works for you:

          Awesome find, thanks. We don;t have Bing Lee in SA

        • t00tie on 12/01/2023 - 09:41

          Thanks for sharing!

          Managed to get the 128 using that code, the 256 wouldn’t work.

          Ordered 15 mins ago and just got the “item ready to collect” email come through.

    • BargainsGrabber on 12/01/2023 - 08:47

      Their 128GB is cheaper than the 256GB lol

      128GB @ $19
      256GB @ $49

      • Masakari on 12/01/2023 - 08:49

        Yeah, the 128GB is awesome value

          Maybe you should do your first post. It looks an awesome value to me.

          • Masakari on 12/01/2023 - 10:25

            @Scrooge McDeal: Thanks for the suggestion. I posted the ebay bing lee 128/256 as a separate deal.

        Nice find! I paid $18.05 with the code OFFTOP5. I then I realised I had a coupon for $5 off when spending over $15. oops

      128GB also on Binglee Ebay for $19 ($18.05 with free shipping on ebay plus: OFFTOP5)

    I need a USBC drive because my Chromebook doesn't have an card reader (should've checked the specs before impulse buy)

    Thanks OP, got me a deal

      It's good that you can fix that impulse buy, by impulse buying this one.

      • rosebank on 12/01/2023 - 09:14

        It's impulse buying all the way down

  • littlesoldier on 12/01/2023 - 09:46

    30 MB/s write speed seems to be slow comparing to T5 / T7?
    But still great value as a portable flashdrive

    • scuderiarmani on 12/01/2023 - 10:44

      It's not an SSD….

      • camr00 on 12/01/2023 - 11:41

        Agree that they wont much an SSD. I did find that the Sandisk Extreme USB-A drives were good for ~150mBps sustained write speeds a few years ago when I used them. Not up there with my T5 (and I havent used a T7), but not a bad balance for portability and convenience (I still carry multiple cables with me these days, its just that they are mostly USB-C these days rather than a mix).

        • edfoo on 12/01/2023 - 15:45

          Crystal Disk Mark tests on my two Sandisk USB flash drives:
          Old Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 32GB: 263MB/s read and 92MB/s write.
          Current Sandisk Extreme Pro USB 3.2 256GB: 412MB/s read and 384MB/s write.

    • 4foxache on 12/01/2023 - 11:07

      Yeah write speed isn't great probably better off buying a good mirco sd and usb adapter… although this is a lot cheaper

  • Chandler on 12/01/2023 - 11:20

    High performance: A 4 GB file can be copied from the USB flash drive to your PC or laptop in around 11 seconds

    4 GB = 4096 MB
    4096 MB @ 300 MB/s = 13.65s

    OP also failed to mention the reverse operation

    4096 MB @ 30 MB/s = 136.5s = 2min 16.5s

    Also not great when compared to some of the competition with:

    • 4 times the storage
    • 3.5 times the read speed
    • 33.3 times the write speed
    • 3 times the price
    • Available locally
    • Scrooge McDeal on 12/01/2023 - 11:24

      Mate relax. I just used Amazon description . I am no expert or know all these things you are talking about. I am posting a deal to help the community. People should be a bit more appreciative.

      • Chandler on 12/01/2023 - 11:44

        Fair enough. Wasn't being unappreciative, and haven't negged the deal: if you're after a physically small large capacity USB "stick" these would be a good option (and only just over $50). But if you're after USB "storage" there are "better" options.

  • furyou on 12/01/2023 - 15:35

    Haha, up to 30 MB/s write speed
    May as well buy an sd card - more versatile

  • Loopholio on 20/01/2023 - 19:02

    Test finished without errors.
    You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
    Writing speed: 50.0 MByte/s
    Reading speed: 255 MByte/s
    H2testw v1.4

    122,344 MB, just over 122GB formatted. The test took 40:48 minutes to write, 8 minutes to read. Not bad for the price. It did get rather warm when testing, but nothing too worrying.

  • fastnet on 23/01/2023 - 17:11

    Did my own speed test on this drive,

    I got 402 MB/s Read and 116 MB/s Write.
    See test results - 1 GB file size, repeated 2x using CrystalDiskMark
